Valuing Hancock Whitney stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Hancock Whitney's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Hancock Whitney's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, Hancock Whitney shares trade at around 13x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Dividend payout ratio: 32.94% of net profits
Recently Hancock Whitney has paid out, on average, around 32.94% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.02% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Hancock Whitney shareholders could enjoy a 3.02% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hancock Whitney's case, that would currently equate to about $1.3 per share.
While Hancock Whitney's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Hancock Whitney may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Hancock Whitney's most recent dividend payout was on 15 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 4 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Hancock Whitney's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 18 March 2004. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Hancock Whitney shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hancock Whitney shares which in turn could have impacted Hancock Whitney's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Hancock Whitney's shares have ranged in value from as little as $31.1959 up to $57.3398. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Hancock Whitney's is 1.272. This would suggest that Hancock Whitney's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
